Is it okay if we use a Randomiser to update moves and remove trade evolution? Only those things.

 

[Necrum]

well there's always the 10 year anniversary! #epic

Also, will there be an emblem? Im not exactly able to use that swablu right now, unless you were serious about that extra 3DS. :P

There will be an emblem, I just haven't made it yet.

Gyo ♀ 15
[ Dragonbreath | Ember | Bite | Leer ]

AppleBunny 16
[ Confusion | Incinerate | Quick Attack | Endure ]

Started off with my super fresh and green Treecko, Verdigris. He later became fresher and evolved into Grovyle. Gyo the Bagon proved annoying to hatch, but at least she's here. A little hard to raise, but she'll be a beautiful rampaging butterfly someday. AppleBunny traveled a long journey from the beautiful Unova and is finally getting a chance to shine. I knew that saving that Liberty Garden Victini would be useful someday...plus it's a favorite of mine...and a bunny...it totally is a bunny. Anyway, with Verdigris and Gyo, I made it past Roxanne with relative ease. AppleBunny joined afterwards when we landed in Dewford where we're currently training to take on Brawly. Not much else to say there! Unfortunately, the next party member won't be joining us until we're nearing six badges. Ugh. I did this to myself, though.​

Update 2

Spoiler:

So i decided Lugia would be too cheap and ended up picking another friend's Fav pokemon instead, Quilava (which i've been informed i can evolve into typhlosion)
caught bidoof slave, went through floaroma town
VS Mars
Not difficult for slightly overlevelled Grotle with Curse and Razor Leaf. the zubat scared me with toxic almost KOing me towards the end but i had about 10 HP left upon beating purugly.
went on up and skipped most of the trainers. caught buneary in Eterna forest. went back to floaroma town and then back to the route between windworks and eterna forest to beat the previously skipped trainers for some EXP. also swept the forest with buneary.
did some "Tinkering" and got myself a Cyndaquil also caught a buizel (you'll see why in a moment) grinded cyndaquil against the gym and then
VS Gardenia
new Quilava cleared out cherubi and turtwig while grotle beat roserade after a couple of curses and some bites. not difficult
traded buizel to some kid for a chatot (one scavenger challenge done, also future flyslave) got the explorer kit did some digging underground and after about 10 min found a skull fossil. went through the galactic building

VS Jupiter
She's normally a hell of a lot tougher. zubat went down after a couple of quick attacks from buneary. Skuntank took quilava's ember like a monster and crushed it with night slash. grotle was my only hope and thankfully after 2 curses night slash wasnt doing much, she didnt use screech or smokescreen as much as she usually does which was a plus. a few tackles later and it was down
got my bike, went down cycling road and got to oreburgh city again. revived skull fossil into cranidos and boxed forever more.

Beginning - Violet City

Started off with Chikorita as planned, and trained it to a decent level before getting the pokedex/battling against the RIVAL for the first time. After all the craziness, I finally managed to get my bred vulpix from my silver game, and trained it a little bit before setting off to Violet city!

Battled a bunch of trainers for experience, and then searched around until I found a Bellsprout, since there's a boy in Violet City who will want a bellsprout for an Onix, just so that I can do a in-game trade! Then I went to the sprout tower to train Chikorita and Vulpix a bit, got the HM, aand then headed off to the Gym.

It wasn't as tough as I thought since Reflect and Poison Powder from Chikorita was really amazing against his level 9 Pidgeotto, and poof, got the badge! Then it was off to the pokemon center to grab the pokemon egg from the aide.

Update 3

Spoiler:

Went onwards to hearthome, stomped rival. got good rod, went back to route before hearthome and fished for Kangxi the Barboach
trained up all my pokes evenly though focused on Kangxi on the way to veilstone. trained Quilava at the gym
VS Maylene
Grotle took down the meditite and machoke, the lucario was the problem. thought Quilava could handle it but nope, outsped, force palm, parahax.
didnt risk buneary dying (that thing's happieness is hard enough to raise) so i sent in barboach, which promptly met the same fate and missed a mud bomb.
leave it to grotle and her ever so useful Curse/Razor leaf to shine through and take it down.
went on to pastoria. beating all the trainers. got to the gym and trained up barboach. evolved into whiscash. taught Zen Headbutt through move tutor
VS Crasher Wake
clean sweep for grotle. got a curse on gyarados before he swaggered me, some confusehax and moomoo milks later and it was down. took an ice fang easily with +1 DEF and Razor Leaf straight up OHKOd. Quagsire used tail whip and Razor Leaf OHKOd again.
went to great marsh, caught bibarel HM slave and caught a Croagunk for my daily pokemon (i did not know that thing was one of the daily pokes in diamond. i've played platinum too much)

Azalea Town - Eckruteak City

Sooo, after getting the first badge, it was time to head to the next, but first, needed to get past the Union cave. Easy enough, with Chikorita soon evolving during the way! Soon Azalea Town was within reached. Talked with the pokemon maker Kurt, where I followed him to the Slowpoke Well to stop TEAM ROCKET. After all of that, it was time to battle the gym, where again, Vulpix destroyed all, earning the HIVE BADGE!

In Goldenrod City, I traded for my Marill from Silver, and trained it until it evolved into a Azumarill, since it evolved at a pretty low level anyway. Togepi hatched from the egg, and it surprisingly took little time to evolve it, but from the hair cuts and giving it some items, it managed to! Anywho, went to the gym, defeated Whitney at her own game with Azumarill's Defense Curl + Rollout Combo. Earned the PLAIN BADGE!

In Eckruteak, the Gym was tougher because the ghost types were fast but after Bayleef evolved to Meganium, he just tanked all the ghost hits and retaliated in strong kind, earning the FOG BADGE!

Update #1 on HeartGold.

Name: Jd
Rival: Silver
Starter: Chikorita

• Started with Banker the Chikorita. He evolved into Bayleef after beating Sprout Tower, so Falkner wasn't too difficult.
• Did the Bellsprout for Onix trade.
• Got the egg and ran around to hatch it, and out popped Cell the Togepi!
• While Rock Smashing in the Ruins of Alph, I got 2 Helix Fossils and 2 Old Ambers!
• Moved down through Union Cave and defeated Team Rocket at Slowpoke Well, then fought Bugsy.
• Bugsy's Scyther was hard to defeat but I prevailed thanks to poison and numerous potions.
• Went through Ilex Forest to Goldenrod City, then went north to catch Nidoran♂, who I named Redact.
• While I was waiting for Saturday to roll around, Redact evolved into Nidorino, and Cell evolved into Togetic!
• Saturday was Bug Catching Contest day, and I won the contest with Hacker the Scyther.
• Did some more training, then took on the gym. Whitney was surprisingly easy since Miltank missed 2 Rollouts.
• Moved north and caught Sudowoodo to complete that task, then arrived in Ecruteak City.
• Decided it was time to get my valentine Pokémon, who is Snorlax. So I headbutted some trees and a Munchlax magically fell out.
• Named him Okey after my brother's online handle, and then I went all the ay home to deposit all my money with Mom.
• Sure enough, the next courier in the Poké Mart gave me a Moon Stone, and I used it to evolve Redact in to Nidoking!
• Back in Ecruteak City, I went to the Burned Tower to beat Silver and release the beasts.
• The gym was up next, and Morty was really easy after Gengar ran out of Sucker Punch. Cell's Extrasensory ruled here.
• I am now saved on Route 38, on my way to Olivine City.

Update 5

Spoiler:

Went to lake valor training riolu up more
VS Saturn
Kadabra was easy enough for lopunny, typhlosion took down bronzor and Torterra took out toxicroak
went to lake verity
VS Mars
Bronzor was easy for typhlosion, Golbat went down to Lopunny and Riolu scored the kill on Purugly. and evolved into Lucario
went on to snowpoint, caught sneasel on the way taught it X scissor and shadow claw and replaced faint attack with new Hail TM kept fury swipes. learned Slash later which replaced Fury Swipes.
VS Candice
was planning to let Lucario sweep through for EXP but medicham put a damper on that. thankfully torterra was able to take it down with earthquake. Typhlosion handled the rest.
saw barry get his butt kicked. went to galactic HQ
VS Cyrus
not hard. swept with Sneasel slashing Golbat and Murkrow and X Scissoring his Sneasel.
VS Saturn
Sneasel took out kadabra. and bronzor with some crits. Torterra finished Toxicroak
went through Mt Coronet levelling sneasel some more
VS Saturn and Mars
Lucario did as much damage as it could before being confusehaxed and flamethrowered to death while Barry's munchlax did nothing. sent out Torterra to finish off the Skuntank, and Munchlax (thank god). he brought out Infernape (actually useful) which took down golbat with assist from Torterra, then took down Mars's bronzor, and golbat (again assist from Torterra) before OHKOing Purugly with Close Combat. guess Barry isnt completely useless.
VS Cyrus
Lucario fought honchkrow till he switched for gyarados. i switched for torterra and after a couple of curses. razor leaf OHKOd. stayed in hoping to tank a hit from weavile but ice punch KOd me. lucario OHKOd back with Aura Sphere then took honchkrow to the red. he healed it up and finished me with a Crit Drill Peck. leave it to Lopunny to end it with Return. Crobat was his last pokemon and after some BS hax i barely dented it before lopunny died, Typhlosion finished the job nicely.
